We did travel through a bit of mud and the tread packed nice and firm (looked like a racing slick). But we got through. Happy so for but will upgrade next year.

Currently have 35" Bighorns. Have been on SA's softest beaches, blackest mud, the outback with heavy loads etc. Have exceeded all expectations so far.
I love terra firma - the less firma the more terra

The 747
I am going to be buying a set of AT700 Bravos soon in 265/75/16R for daily driving, 99% bitumen roads. Was going to get a pure highway terrain but I don't wanna have to change to my muddies if I wanna drive on wet grass haha. The 700s look like a great road tyre with pretty good dirt/sand/rock abilities, can't imagine them going too good in the mud but that's why I've got muddies as well.

As a learner too, I would be very interested in this too, I have found though that these tyres are still holding strong all the way down to 8 PSI, and I havnt been afraid to let the air out when I have been stuck
PSI
On Rd.--------- 35psi, as that is what is on the side of the tyre
Off Rd.--------- 20psi, this is where I see the tyres starting to bag out
Creeks---------
Hills.-----------
Sand.----------15ish PSI only driven on sand once, and it was more wank value to air the tyres down as it wasnt that thick, and had a dirt base.
Muddy trails.--

What's the lowest anyone's been on maxxis? ( 285/75 16 muddies)
Situation- dropped tyre pressure at home, because the vehicle can't clear garage roof with roof racks on, after the 2 inch lift.
Got down to ten psi, wasnt willing to go any lower incase I rolled a tyre off the rim.
Still 15-20mm to high..so the roof is going up.
It raised a question though,
How low have people been, without damage?
I normally go straight to 20 psi, as soon as hubs are locked.
Just curious,
Cheers

I have a set of 33" and a set of 35" in Bighorn's and have run them down to 16psi on sand and in the bush without any problems but I think 18 is safer.
I have driven some obsticles easyer than others at times and have also struggled when others made it look easy so its hard to say if its the tyres or the line picked or the difference
in the veichles for that particular obsticle or if its tyre choice. It would be nice to retry an obsticle again after swapping tyres with others in the group see if it makes any difference but thats never going to happen, too much work in that..
